The BBC has been accused of 'absurd political correctness' after dropping the terms BC and AD in case they offend non-Christians.

The Corporation has replaced the familiar Anno Domini (the year of Our Lord) and Before Christ with the obscure terms Common Era and Before Common Era.

I believe this has stemmed from University Challenge, when Jeremy Paxman referred to a date as being Common Era, rather than AD. This nasty formulation is designed to write Christianity out of our culture.

I'm not sure I believe this story but was quite interested to read some British thoughts on a Yahoo website

WTF???
They have to be joking.

I'm more offended with the BBC - British Broadcasting Corporation.
I think they should change to MAL - Muslim Azzz Lickers.

WHY are we kowtowing to non Christians AGAIN? The Jews, Hindus, Sikhs never seem to have a problem with this countries culture and customs so why do muslims. If they object so much the simple solution is either do not come to Britain or return to the medieval cess pits they come from.
Time this PC anti British and left wing organisation had the licence removed from it. Lord Reith must be turning in his grave. Impartiality my backside

muslims are a foreign invaders on British soil
we bend over backwards for them but they are still miserable and claim to be marginalised

Another example of crazy political correctness ! We must be very careful in what we think or do for fear of upsetting racial and religious minorities.The United Kingdom is a predominantly Christian country..The present year is A.D,2011 !

Oh dear! The natives are kicking off

What Islam has to do with it. We love Jesus (pbuh). He is one of our greatest prophets.

Thats only the half of it BM.

The BBC will also no longer refer to climate in the UK as
'English Weather'

Rather than offend a sizable portion of the UK population,
it will now be referred to as:
'Muslim Weather'

(Partly Sunny, but mostly Shi'ite )

(Darn, our takeover plans are being exposed bit by bit - first it was to get people to eat curries... oops... phew, I almost let the cat out the bag).

Amigo, you're talking to the wrong people.
They (BM, FD, Herve, etc.) don't care what we think, they just want to attack Islam, because they fear it will over take them. It already did to BM, and now she's gone crazy
